Lois married Eben Lilley at the age of only 18 and was a devoted wife for over 60years. Lois has 3 children, Dana, Charlene and Brian. She was an excellent homemaker and mother encouraging her children to be strong and compassionate people. Her constant advice was to have her children seek out an education and live their dreams.

Lois enjoyed working in her garden and being with close friends and family. l She volunteered at local animal shelters and food banks.
